After going 3-1 following a nine-day break for final exams, the Owls moved up one spot to fifth in the Baseball America Top 25 poll released Monday.

The No. 5 ranking ties the highest for the Owls (33-13) this season.

The Owls narrowly beat Texas Southern 6-5 in 11 innings and lost the series opener to Houston 11-6 on Friday. Rice rebounded to win the series with a 4-3 win in 10 innings Saturday and 8-2 rout Sunday to capture the Silver Glove Trophy for the 12th consecutive season.

Rice had a few ugly wins last week, but nice to see the bats have a decent day on Sunday and you have to feel Reckling and (hopefully) Kubitza will look sharper now that they are back into the swing of things.
